  • Filial church of St. Johann im Mauerthale Exterior view

According to legend, the devil wanted to dam up the Danube because of this pilgrimage destination in order to flood the church. Today, the Wachau Railway runs through a remnant of this "failed" damming attempt - the tunnel through the so-called "Devil's Wall" is the shortest railroad tunnel in Austria.
